Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Sports and Physical Education (IOSR-JSPE) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Relevance: Neck pain is one of the most common conditions leading to functional disabilities seen worldwide. There are different methods to manage neck pain, conservatively. Physiotherapy treatment as conservative management involves reduction of pain, increasing the ROM, and functional ability by various approaches like exercise therapy, electrotherapy and manual therapy techniques. Various studies have proven that faradic stimulation along with conventional treatment gives significant beneficial effects. Hence this study was undertaken to compare the effect of 50% and 100% ramp-up Faradic Stimulation in patients with non-specific trapezius spasm. Participants:36 subjects diagnosed with trapezius spasm were recruited from out-patient dept. of physiotherapy of KLE’S Dr.Prabhakar Kore Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Belagavi. Method:Subjects were randomly allocated into 2 groups namely group A (n=18) who received 50% Ramp-up Faradic Stimulation along with cryotherapy as conventional treatment and group B (n=18) who received 100% Ramp-up Faradic Stimulation with conventional therapy same as in Group A for 6 days. The outcome measures were Vas for pain and cervical range of motion using tape method. Analysis:Within group and between groups analysis after intervention was done to assess changes using Paired sample t-test. Result:For VAS parameter Group A is better than group B with t=5.178 and p=0.000*. For ROM parameter there was no evident significant change seen between both the groups with the value of t=0.274 and p=0.770. Conclusion:50% ramp up faradic stimulation is better than 100% ramp up faradic stimulation in patients with non- specific trapezius spasm according to the statistical analysis obtained.
